Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Keyframes After Effects Scripts

How to enable scripts to read/write files/internet

By default scripts are not allowed to write files or send or receive communication over a network. To allow scripts to write files and communicate over a network, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and select the Allow Scripts To Write Files And Access Network option.

Export the current After Effects comp to FB Keyframes Animation Descriptor JSON document.

Requires "Allow Scripts To Write Files And Access Network"

There are two options for exporting, a command line tool and an After Effects plugin.

1. Command Line Interface

How to install

  1. Under this folder run npm install . -g

How to run

  1. Open an After Effects project
  2. Open the comp you want to export
  3. Run keyframes-cli in terminal

A file named ${COMP_NAME}.kf.json should show up under the same folder

2. After Effects Plugin

How to install

  1. Quit After Effects
  2. Move all the files under this folder into your AE Scripts folder e.g. /Applications/Adobe After Effects CC 2015/Scripts/Keyframes on macOS
  3. Launch After Effects
  4. Open an After Effects project
  5. Menu item: File / Scripts / Keyframes_Exporter.jsx
    The exporter palette window will open
  6. Press Export

You can keep the palette window open and press Export multiple times.

How to run

  1. Open an After Effects project
  2. Open the comp you want to export
  3. Menu item: File / Scripts / Run Script File…
  4. Choose Keyframes_Exporter.jsx The exporter palette window will open
  5. Press Export

You'll see a bunch of progress messages. Eventually the folder with the exported JSON will open. You'll see three new files:

  • Project.aep.comp-###-Comp Name.kf.json FB Keyframes compatible animation descriptor.

  • Project.aep.comp-###-Comp Name.json Raw JSON description.

  • Project.aep.comp-###-Comp Name.log Export progress messages and warnings with timestamps. Check this file for warnings about incompatible features. Also useful for diagnosing performance issues.
